Plastic fastener
First Claim
1. A one-piece plastic fastener for insulatingly fixing a plate-like member to a support structure comprising a body formed with a groove extending length-wise along one surface of said body and adapted to hold the plate-like member therein, at least one cavity extending longitudinally in said body and disposed parallel to but spaced from said groove to form a dielectric resilient wall between the cavity and the groove, at least one spring member disposed within said cavity and acting against the resilient wall adjacent to said groove to provide a resilient bias against the plate-like member when positioned in said groove, anchoring means extending perpendicular from said body for securing same to the support structure, a resilient integral arm extending longitudinally away from one end of said body having means for contacting and positioning the member held in said groove in a retained fashion.
